Osteomyelitis is commonly caused by pathogens like , but rare organisms such as , typically associated with superficial skin infections, can also be implicated. Recognizing these atypical pathogens presents diagnostic and therapeutic challenges, especially in the presence of orthopedic hardware. We conducted a literature review yielding 25 studies and encompassing 797 patient cases, which highlights the emerging role of species in osteomyelitis, particularly following trauma or surgical interventions.

Introduction: surface sarcomas are a rare entity that need correct diagnosis to differentiate parosteal (cPOS), periosteal and the high grade surface osteosarcomas (HGSO). HGSO has malignant behavior similarities with osteosarcomas and wide resection is the key to a successful treatment.1 The Capanna and Hemi-Capanna reconstruction techniques have being developed in order to avoid amputation after an oncological resection, allowing structural support from an allograft and biological advantages from a vascularised autograft.

Background: Compressive neuropathy of the common fibular nerve (CFN) is increasingly recognized as an etiology for foot drop and falls. Electrodiagnostic (EDX) studies are widely used to evaluate this condition, but such tests are invasive and costly. As with carpal and cubital tunnel syndromes, there may be patients with characteristic symptoms of CFN compressive neuropathy but normal EDX studies in which ultrasound may aid in decision-making.

Adjustable Loop Fixation devices (ALD) were introduced to allow tensioning and re-tensioning while increasing flexibility of graft length in the bone tunnel. ALDs have shown comparable clinical and biomechanical results when used for anterior cruciate ligament reconstructions. We routinely use ALDs in multi-ligament knee reconstructions.

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to compare postoperative complications and outcomes of minimally invasive intramedullary fixation (IMF) versus plate fixation (PF) in the treatment of distal fibular fractures.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective review was performed from identifying all consecutive ankle fracture patients aged ≥18-years-old surgically managed between August 2017 to September 2022 at a tertiary care center with minimum 6 months clinical follow-up. Patients were grouped into those receiving intramedullary versus extramedullary fibular fixation.
